Recipes We LOVE - Ginger Tomato Salmon with coconut jasmin rice

I am constantly looking for new recipes to try out and My local Publix supermarket has become my new go to source for some inspiration. I am not the best at cooking so finding recipes that are simple are my only hope. ( Gigi took all the cooking skills). I have been loving Salmon lately and I usually just throw it in the oven with some salt and pepper along with some roasted veggies but I think my husband can agree that we need some variety.   I tried a sample of this recipe and immediately fell in love and had to recreate it myself.  Its so simple and delicious that you must give it a try! Hope you enjoy it. you can find the recipe on Publix's Website HERE

Ginger Tomato - Salmon

Ingredients:

2 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons ginger spice paste
1 cup chicken stock 
1 cup coconut milk
1 1/2 lb salmon fillets, skin removed
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 (14.5-oz) can petite diced tomatoes, drained
1/4 cup pre-sliced green onions 

Steps

1. Chop garlic. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2-3 minutes. Place garlic, ginger, stock, and coconut milk in pan; bring to a boil. Meanwhile, season salmon on both sides with salt and pepper (wash hands).
2. Add tomatoes and salmon to sauce, then reduce heat to medium-low; cook 8-10 minutes, basting fish with sauce occasionally, or until salmon is 145°F (or opaque and separates easily). Place salmon and sauce on rice; sprinkle with green onions and serve.

Ingredients

1 cup jasmine rice

1 1/4 cups chicken stock

3/4 cup coconut milk

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1/4 cup pre-sliced green onions

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 

Steps:

1. Place in medium saucepan: rice, stock, coconut milk, and oil; bring to a boil.
2. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer rice 18-20 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. Fluff rice with fork; stir in green onions and salt. Serve.

The coconut rice is so delicious but if you don't have time to go through this step you can always substitute some instant brown rice. My favorite is Uncle Ben's 90 second Whole grain rice bags.
